Well given the slower responses we've had to coops I would love to say no limit but to be fair I think we will start at a 10 skein limit per person at first and see what kind of response we get. We do have a lot of users and I'd love for everyone who wants some Discobaby to have a change to get some. Does that sound fair? I'd reevaluate the limit within a day or two if ordering is slow. |
Sounds fair to me  and I totally understand. I just would like to make a sweater,hat and pants in one colorway. If possible? |
How much were you thinking of buying? |

Well I am still trying to figure it out because the pattern I use for the pants doesn't give me appro of how much. I got how much for shirt and hat but still working on the pants. |

What pattern are you using for the pants and what size? Maybe someone on here would know the answer. |

| I haven't used that specific pattern but I would say 2 skeins plus trim would be enough for large longies. |

| When ordering trim? how much trim is it? because I am thinking of doing the pants in trim color with the colorway on the waist and leg cuff. So the it doesn't look to busy. |

| trim skeins are half the weight of the colorway skeins, typically close to 2 oz which should be enough for the waistband and cuffs. I usually have some leftover but I also don't as many rows for the waistband as some patterns call for. |

Are you doing the longies then in the solid color and trim in the colorway?
For XL Longies you will want between 8-12 oz depending on the yardage in the yarn.
